Fax to Email not working

Hi folks,

I want to receive my faxes in my email. I’ve tested the email configuration, my voicemails are working great. I also tested the fax2mail.php directly from terminal and also worked fine.

I’ve configured one Virtual Extension with voicemail on, email filled, this virtual extension has a user linked to it and has email there as well. Also I enabled the Fax option in user config.

The virtual extension is configured to go to a Fax Destination if busy. So when I call the virtual extension I go directly to fax. When I send a fax to this extension I can check that the fax is working, because the file is created in /var/spool/asterisk/fax but no email is sent.

How to solve this?

Kind Regards, Ricardo

To my untrained eye, it looks like your Asterisk process is restarting.

That might have something to do with it.

Hi Dave,

I’ve made a Full Backup and then a fresh install. Problem solved.

Thanks!
